of the constant slagging off of Carp anglers on FM! Why is this, and I am not talking about the "Chav" eliment here, as that has and always will be there in any branch of angling! How many of you actualy fish on waters that Carp anglers also fish? By this I mean good mixed fisheries and not muddy holes in the ground, stocked full of bland "Pasties" but proper mature pits and lakes which also contain good Perch, Tench, Bream and so on.
So what's the beef with Carp anglers? I started as a general angler catching many species before I even considered trying to catch a Carp, for all I knew they were a myth, and not stocked everywhere as they are today! But after seeing a 12lbs Monster landed I knew I had to catch one! And after a lot of reading (no forums back then) and a few months latter I landed my first ever Carp, a Mirror of 17lbs from a very difficult, large Kent pit, and I have not looked back!
So come on Guy's what is it that you hate about Carp anglers???
